President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has ordered for the immediate rehabilitation of flood-control infrastructures and resettlement of flood victims in some areas in Northern Mindanao that were devastated by the shear line rain and flooding last month.
Marcos issued the statement during a situation briefing on Wednesday after visiting areas in Misamis Occidental and Misamis Oriental, which suffered intense rains and flooding brought about by the shear line in December.
For Misamis Occidental, he proposed getting assistance from Japan on how to solve the flooding problem in the said province.“[The Department of] Public Works will do the assessment first on what [repairs] they have to do. How much was the damage? And then we’ll see how we will correct the damage and we can already do it,” Marcos said in mixed Filipino and English in the situation briefing in Gingoog City, Misamis Oriental.
At least 10 people have been killed while four others were injured as a result of the torrential rains that have spawned flooding in some areas, particularly in Visayas and Mindanao because of the low pressure areas that affected the country since January 2. The NDRRMC said that the low pressure areas affected Region 4A, 4B, 5, 6, 8, 10 and 11 and the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao since January 2. As a result, at least 69, 308 families or 291,826 individuals were affected. At least 784 families of 3,224 persons were also displaced.
